Question

How do I start homework early?

Community Answer

Do it as soon as you get home from school. If you start doing something else, you won't want to come back to your work. When you have a big project or a test coming up, work on it for 20-30 minutes every day (again, as soon as you get home) instead of leaving it all until the last second.

Question

How do I do my homework on time if it is given to me over a holiday and I have trouble focusing?

Community Answer

Split your work up into separate sections and work through each section one by one. Take a five minute break every 45 minutes or so. Also, try doing your work in the morning when you're most energized. Remind yourself how awful and stressful it will be if you leave all of your work to the last minute.

Question

How do I stop procrastinating when I have a book report due?

Community Answer

Think of what will happen if you don't turn in the book report. You will probably be in a lot of trouble, your grade will suffer, etc. Or think of how difficult that report will be if you have to sit down and do it all at once at the last minute instead of working on it a little at a time. Put away all distractions and just sit down and get to work.

Question

What should I do if I've forgotten my homework at school?

Community Answer

Maybe text a friend who hasn't written on theirs yet. Ask them to send you a picture of their HW, and print that picture out to write on.

Question

What if it's a big project and it's due in a few days - what is the fastest way to get it done?

Community Answer

You'll just have to put all your time and energy into getting it done. Figure out exactly what you need to do first by making a plan. Divide the work up into small sections, then just work through the sections one by one. Take a 5-10 minute break every hour or so.

Question

What can I do if I need my devices for information to do homework?

Community Answer

If you need your device for your homework but you keep getting distracted, you can get apps that block social media for you.

What can I do if I am easily distracted?

Will

Community Answer

Find a quiet and comfortable spot to work on your homework. Also, make a list of what you need to do. Taking a break every hour or so will help, too.
